Here’s a photo of Selena Gomez on Friday. She instagrammed to the world from Starbucks in McAllen, Texas. What she neglected to mention was that she was hanging out with none other than Justin Bieber. I had a feeling (last Monday) this was going to happen when Justin started instagramming that Selena was the “most elegant princess in the world” alongside a photo of her in her Oscar party dress. Bieber reportedly stormed out of a deposition (last Thursday) when a lawyer started asking him questions about Selena. These two lovebirds are now reunited. Bieber tweeted the good news with swaggy relish:

Dumb is one thing and I agree that this is dumb puppy love but it also seems dangerous. Beiber’s influence seems like it goes way past just damaging Selena’s rep and/or heart. I am not saying that she doesn’t have free will and agency in this. I just think that separated from him, she would make much better decisions.

I’m beginning to think Selena is one of those women who gets involved with toxic men, drops them after they do something heinous to them (like cheating or perpetrating acts of violence), then runs right back when they’re in trouble. Selena drops this overgrown toddler’s butt when it’s obvious that he’s using drugs, probably cheating on her, and dragging down her professional reputation. Then, when he gets in trouble with the Miami PD and it looks like he might actually be facing some jail time, she runs back to comfort the poor afflicted baby. I knew someone like this in college, always dumping her drunken idiot boyfriend, then taking him back when he had a crisis like needing bail money or he’d been suspended from school. Argh.

That’s not true. Ashley Tisdale is still alive and doing the voice of Candace on Phineas and Ferb. It might not be the kind of acting that gets her face shown, but she’s still working. And just because someone doesn’t go around flashing themselves to the world on drugs and whatnot doesn’t mean they aren’t successful. In fact, I think her doing character voice on a successful and popular show is a lot more successful than being a fail entertainer.

Nou- you’re right, Tisdale is an excellent voice actor and I hope she does more of it if Phineas & Ferb ever stops production. Most live action actors aren’t so good at it, but she knows how to use her voice as an instrument (she’s also a good singer) and has quite a cartoony voice range. She really is a good comic actor, so I wouldn’t assume her career is “dead” this early in the game. She has the kind of skills that last for decades. When her character was no longer in Disney’s Suite Life series, the shows really suffered for it. That became especially obvious whenever she would reappear, even if just as a one-time event.

Wow. Just wow. She must have some next level self-esteem issues to keep running back to this little twerp. I feel really sorry for her. She needs to learn to love herself a bit more then she can stop looking for love in the wrong places. It’s obvious that he only cares about himself .

Let’s be real. Bieber, as much as an asshole as he may be, isn’t the reason she went to rehab. Her team, or the media, is just using Bieber as a scapegoat because we all love to hate on the little shit. You don’t go to rehab for a love of assholes…you see a shrink. What was interesting was TMZ was claiming she was laughing and making fun of Bieber, which either goes to show they were a) straight up making gossip or b) her team is trying to push her image away from Bieber, while she runs towards him.

She was acting loopy in interviews before she went to rehab, and it doesn’t take a BS blind item or gossip to see that she probably has some sort of substance abuse issues. I think whatever her issue is, it’s beyond alcohol or weed (and I’ve never heard of a weed addict), because I think her team would have desperately tried to handle it in an out patient scenario because so much of her career is built on her “squeaky clean” image. Unfortunately, I doubt two weeks was enough for whatever her problem is….and being around a drug user like Bieber (I believe he does harder things than smoking a little weed) isn’t going to help her. I have a feeling this is going to end up with another rehab trip for her….

I agree with your post. My main concern for Selena is that while she did go to rehab, whether out of choice or pressure, Beiber will be an influence in the opposite direction. I would be very concerned if she were a loved one of mine. Yes, she is making the decision to be with him. Yes, she might be in the same place without him. The difference is that to me while she is with him, he is influence numero uno. She might listen to others if he was out of her life. Again, I know only she can make that decision. Rather sad.

we’ve all been young, and if not young in a relationship that draws us back in. Sometimes there is no logic to it, you just have to ride it out. Eventually it ends and you are finally done. I don’t judge them at all. Clearly they have a connection and understand each other on a level people may never understand. Hopefully they help each other through difficult times and are able to give each other some kind of peace.

Maybe i’m reading these stories wrong but it kind of bugs me how the gossip sites (not really Celebitchy but just in general) format Justin & Selena’s relationship. The format being; “Obsessed/Crazy Bieber evily persuades Gomez into taking him back! Poor Selena can’t escape his claws and is sucked back in again by the Biebs, she can do better!”
Now of course, Bieber IS CRAZY and possibly evil, but why is Selena never grilled as much as he is? I don’t think he has a spell on her, she is a 21 year old woman who- if involved with Justin- certainly MADE THE CHOICE to do so. She, herself, is the one who made the decision to take him back, answer his calls, fly 1,000 of miles to see him, is she not her own person? She should be judged just as harshly as Biebs. (I don’t know if it’s a gender thing? She is also older than him, i think?)

Lord, what girl hasn’t had “this” friend…continually returning to a horrible douche after you’ve spent weeks fielding crying midnight phone calls about how horrible he was?? I don’t blame her friends if they are over her.

Totally. It took me a long time to distinguish between a friend in need and a friend who endlessly creates her own drama and tries to constantly pull you in. It’s usually the same friend who doesn’t have the time if day for you when she isn’t having drama.
Yes we’ve all had this friend.

I don’t know what she sees in him. I think most of us have been there at some point, going back to some loser we’re hung up on when all of our friends are telling us not to, but damn, this is painful to watch. I hope she wakes up before she gets pregnant by him.

Reports are she was a drunk mess at the Vanity Fair party. I hope she gets over him eventually. Getting over your first love is hard. And Bieber reportedly..ah..got there first.. Too much connection.Give her time folks..she’ll learn

She was to be some serious kind of drama queen. Anyone who goes back to that big of a douche after he’s been in and out of brothels and god knows where else is just so very sad. I think alot of it is because he’s a ” first love ” young girls have trouble letting that go sometimes. But seriously Selena, brothels? Come on!

This girl has no talent and she does the same song and dance attaching herself to whoever is famous at the moment. She was all about Nick Jonas when the Jonas Brothers were big and Taylor Lautner when Twilight was the rage. Now she is clinging onto JB (refusing to detach herself from his mess) because she has nothing of her own of which to stand on and make a career. Besides people commenting that they think she is cute and pretty/ dresses nice I have rarely ever seen anyone say they like her because of talent. She can’t sing and she can’t act imo. She is also not the innocent girl that some of these sites try to make her out to be. I don’t believe the narrative that poor Selena Gomez is trying to escape the douche clutches of JB. Imo his clutches are exactly where she wants to be.

Gomez can’t really sing but she definitely can act. She has the skills for both comedy and drama. Her youthful appearance will limit her for a while, but if she stays in acting then she has a real shot at it. Her work in Wizards of Waverly Place just got better and better each season, showing she was paying attention and can grow. That alone puts her head and shoulders above many Disney kid actors. I’ve seen her in some kid oriented movies and she did very well in those also. She didn’t just stick with the Disney School of Overacting style.

He needs her to clean up his dying image, and she needs him for a whole list of toxic reasons. It’s unfortunate that she has no one in her life that she trusts to give her better guidance. Him too for that matter.
